Friends, how many children did you want to have / or want now, and how many do you have?🙄☺️
A while back I could not imagine that I would be the mother of 3 boys! 🙈😄 Reality surprised us 😄
And this is the best gift from life ❤️

How gorgeous is this room @saara_mcloughlin home? And this gallery wall is definitely total goals! Feeling quite chuffed to have been featured there with her #toonme portrait 🙌

{legacy}⁠⠀
Over the last two weeks, I keep thinking of this portrait. Particularly the conversations we had before their family photo shoot.⁠ With dad's permission I wanted to share their story.⠀
⁠⠀
Stephen turned 13 a few months ago, and he is already 6'4! His dad calls him a gentle giant. He said Stephen is caring, smart yet humble, you feel compassion and love when around him. Stephen loves to help little kids at school, and they love to follow this gentle giant around. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
When I asked dad what he'd like their father/son portrait to convey, he said "Our bond. How we joke, the trust we share. He's going to carry on the legacy of being from a line of kingdom builders who have invested in him, his grandparents, great grandparents. It humbles you--knowing where you come from and who you come from. These things give you a sense of self. And I want him to never forget dad is on his side, regardless of how I'm disciplining him." ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Then I did a call with Stephen. I asked him what he loves most about his dad. "My dad is tall, but not too tall. : ) He's kind and authoritative in a good kind of way." Wow parents, isn't that powerful. He trusts his dad's authority. ⠀
⁠⠀
Raising a teenager in a world of uncertainty takes everything. We have two teenagers, and I spend a lot of time on my knees praying for them. Being an authority they respect and trust is something cultivated over time. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Stephen and his dad are a great example of how all the work is worth it. The reward is a bond between dad and son where laughter comes easy, trust and hope are foundational, and faith is the anchor that holds steady in any storm. ⁠⠀
